A CSR plan that satisfies the law and actually creates impact.
Section 135 sets the minimum — a CSR policy, a committee, an annual spend. But a strategy built only to satisfy the law tends to produce scattered, low-impact spending. We start from your business context and the communities you actually touch, then build a plan that's both compliant and genuinely purposeful.
That means choosing the right implementation model upfront, not defaulting to whichever one is easiest to file.
Start Your CSR StrategyFrom materiality to a board-ready CSR policy, as one engagement.
How you choose to execute shapes both your control and your administrative burden.
| Direct ImplementationFull control | Implementing AgencyMost common | Collaborative / PooledShared initiatives | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Level | Highest — you run the program directly | Moderate — agency executes, you oversee | Lower — shared with other companies |
| Administrative Burden | Highest — you manage everything | Lower — agency handles execution | Lowest — shared administration |
| Ideal For | Companies with dedicated CSR teams | Most companies without in-house execution capacity | Companies wanting to fund larger, pooled initiatives |
| Reporting Complexity | You compile all reporting yourself | Agency provides utilization reports | Consolidated reporting via lead partner |

Not necessarily — direct implementation is allowed, though most companies without dedicated CSR teams find implementing agencies more practical.
Unspent amounts must be transferred to a specified fund or an escrow account, depending on whether the project is ongoing — we'll guide you through the specific requirement.
At least annually, alongside your CSR committee's review — more often if your business or stakeholder priorities shift significantly.
